The Youth Self Report (YSR) is a widely used measure of youth emotional and behavioral problems. Although the YSR was designed for youths ages 11 to 18, no studies have systematically evaluated whether youths younger than age 11 can make valid reports on this measure. This study thus examined the reliability and validity of the YSR scales scores for younger (ages 7-10; n = 184) and older (ages 11-14; n = 147) youths. Results demonstrated that younger youths were able to provide reliable reports on the YSR broad band (Internalizing, Externalizing) scales, though less so on the narrow band scales. Across all scales, the externalizing scales performed more favorably than the internalizing scales among both younger and older youth. Younger youths' DSM-oriented scales corresponded significantly with DSM diagnoses.
青少年自评量表（YSR）是一种广泛用于衡量青少年情绪和行为问题的工具。尽管 YSR 是为 11 至 18 岁的青少年设计的，但尚无研究系统地评估年龄在 11 岁以下的青少年是否能够对该量表进行有效的报告。因此，本研究考察了 YSR 量表评分在年龄较小（7-10 岁；n=184）和年龄较大（11-14 岁；n=147）的青少年中的信度和效度。结果表明，年龄较小的青少年能够对 YSR 宽频带（内化、外化）量表进行可靠的报告，但对窄频带量表的报告则不太可靠。在所有量表中，外化量表在年龄较小和较大的青少年中都比内化量表表现得更好。年龄较小的青少年的 DSM 定向量表与 DSM 诊断显著相关。
